Legal privilege and without prejudice privilege are important concepts that come up again and again for in-house teams providing legal advice and in particular for those in regulated industries or involved in litigation.

We know that often issues of whether a document is properly privileged will come up on the fly or at times when you’re least expecting them. Our Australian Dispute Resolution team have put together a guide on key concepts and recent case law developments on the law of legal professional privilege and without prejudice privilege in Australia.

Our team of litigators with experience across sectors, regulatory landscapes and courts are available to discuss your privilege queries.
